I updated the photos. Still not great, but the best I can do at the moment.

Can anybody help me verify the type and grade? I'm thinking it's a type 2 obverse, closer to 20 than 40.

Except for quality, This looks to me a lot like your coin. And I'd say you were good on your grading.

Thanks, guys.

I'll try to get better pictures up later, but at the moment I'm locked out of the basement (where all my camera stuff lives).

Best I could do locked away from my tripod/lighting...

The camera did a great job picking up the dust on the keyboard. ;)

Ok, I'm feeling good about my self on this one. First to make the right call on RC and only 10 min behind one of the "knowing" over at CCC. (Pats self on back) :P

But, I'm not looking for any recognition. :lol:
